Tips & Variations

  • For extra flavor, add 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese into the mixture before baking.
  • Try stirring in some chopped jalapeños for a spicy kick.
  • Use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream for a tangier and healthier version.
  • To make it gluten-free, substitute the cornbread mix with a gluten-free cornbread mix.

Storage

Store any leftover corn casserole in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350ºF for about 15 minutes or until warmed through to maintain the texture. You can also microwave individual portions until hot, though the top will not remain crispy.
